FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE AUTO IN FRONT OF ME CHANGED LANES AND I ACCELERATED TO GO PAST THE AUTO. THE ACCELERATOR STUCK TO THE FLOORBOARD AND WOULD NOT RELEASE EVEN AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO TRY AND GET IT TO RESPOND. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL AT FULL ACCELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANES AND GLIDED TO A STOP IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. WHERE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ACCELERATOR TO DISENGAGE. I WAS VERY LUCKY THE TRAFFIC PATTERN ALLOWED ME TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE ACCELERATOR IS AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

NHTSA complaint #10615733 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 EQUINOX LX WITH MY TWO GRANDCHILDREN WHEN THEY NOTICED A SMELL OF EXHAUST GASES IN THE REAR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS WAS WITH THE HEATING SYSTEM ON AND IN ITS NORMAL CONFIGURATION. AFTER STOPPING I CHECKED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR LEAKS AND COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY IMMEDIATELY WITH A VISUAL INSPECTION. I OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE PIPE CONNECTING THE EGR VALVE TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS DISCONNECTED AND EMITTING EXHAUST GAS INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND INTAKE AREA. IT APPEARS THAT THE WELD ON THE PIPE BOSS WAS CRACKED. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE OCCURRED PREMATURELY. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP FOR A NEW PIPE I WAS TOLD BY THE PARTS DEPARTMENT THE PIPE WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO OBTAIN A KIT WHICH INCLUDED THE PIPE AND A NEW EGR VALVE. MY QUESTION WAS THIS EVER CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL ITEM AS THE KIT IS $360.00.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

EGR TUBE CRACKED AND LEAKS EXHAUST INTO CAR. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX AND STATED INSTEAD OF THE PART TO FIX THIS OURSELVES, (LESS THAN $100) WE WOULD NEED THE 'UPDATED' KIT WHICH WAS NEARLY $400 PLUS THE LABOR TO INSTALL PLUS AND ADDITIONAL FEE TO 'CALIBRATE' THE NEW PART. LOOKING AT OVER $750+ TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. NICE WAY TO SCAM MONEY FOR YOUR DEALERS! CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL THIS!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

HAD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM EXHAUST AND HAVE EXHAUST FUMES COMING THRU THE VENTS, AND FOUND THAT IT WAS THE ERG VALVE (BROKE IN TWO). WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO GET REPLACEMENT PART AND WAS TOLD BY THE PARTS GUY THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE EQUINOX AND THAT THEY NOW HAVE CHANGED THE ENTIRE PART SO YOU CAN NO LONGER JUST REPLACE THE $20 TUBE, YOU HAVE TO GET THE $300 PART, PLUS LABOR AND THEN HAVE THE SHOP 'RESET' THE COMPUTER TO MATCH THE NEW PART..........ANOTHER $200 SERVICE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

MY 2005 CHEVY EQUINOX FAILS TO START SOMETIMES. IT TURNS OVER LIKE IT WANTS TO START BUT NOTHING. I'VE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. STEPPING ON THE GAS WILL USUALLY GET THE CAR TO FINALLY START BUT NOT ALWAYS. IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. THE BATTERY, STARTER, ETC HAS BEEN CHECKED AND THEY'RE FINE. NEXT STEP IS CHANGING FUEL PUMP (VERY EXPENSIVE) BUT NONE OF THE LOCAL GARAGES SEEM TO THINK THAT IS REALLY THE PROBLEM AS THEY SEE THIS A LOT ON THE EQUINOX.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH 4 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED IN 2007 ($1400). MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR COSTLY REPAIRS. MY KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING, AND IT IS HARD TO START. I HAVE TO WIGGLE THE KEY EVERY OTHER TIME I TRY TO START MY CAR. I'VE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR STARTING. WHEN I GO TO CRANK IT UP IT SOUNDS LIKES IT TRIES TO START THEN DIES. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN. MY CAR IS NOT IN THE SHOP DUE TO WATER LEAKAGE. THERE A LARGE COLLECTION OF WATER WITH MY SPARE TIRE, AND THE FLOOR IN THE BACK SEAT IS SOAKED. I WAS TOLD FROM THE GM SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY SEE THIS OFTEN IN MY MODEL VEHICLE BUT NO RECALL FOR IT AT THIS TIME SO IT'S OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. ALSO I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR MY STEERING WHEEL. IT MAKES A LOUD SOUND EVERY TIME THE WHEEL IS TURNED AND THEY CANNOT SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS VERY OFTEN.

I HAD MY 2005 CHEVY EQUINOX FOR 2 WEEKS. IT STARTING HAVING STARTING PROBLEMS, WHEN IDLING, SOUNDED LIKE IT WANTED TO SHUT OFF. TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER. TURNS OUT THE EGR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND PCM NEEDED REPROGRAMMED. EXACTLY FITS NHTSA ITEM NUMBER : 10017551 HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE DOESN'T FIT IN THE RANGE THAT GM DECIDED WAS FAULTY. I DO BELIEVE THE RANGE IS LARGER THAN GM HAS ACTUALLY LISTED.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER

2005 EQUINOX WITH NORMAL DRIVING, MOSTLY HIGHWAY. BEGAN TO HEAR THE TYPICAL SOUNDS OF A FAILING BEARING PRIOR TO 60,000 MILES. VIBRATION IN STEERING, HUM PRESENT WHEN DRIVING, UNEVEN WEAR ON FRONT TIRES. REPLACED RFHUB UNDER WARRANTY AT APPROX. 69,000 MILES. WITHIN 10,000 MILES THAT RFHUB BEGAN TO FAIL, BY THE TIME I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I HAD SURPASSED MY WARRANTY AND THE 12 MONTHS/12,000 WARRANTY ON THE INSTALLED PART VIA THE DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR THE PART TO FAIL SO QUICKLY, WHICH IS NEWS TO ME! HOW CAN A BEARING FAIL THAT QUICKLY AND NOT BE DEFECTIVE. WAS FORCED TO PAY OVER 500.00 TO REPLACE IT. HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT A RATTLE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPY ROADS AND RECEIVED THE "WE COULDN'T REPLICATE IT" RESPONSE SINCE INITIAL COMPLAINT PRIOR TO 60,000 MILES. HAVE HEARD THAT THE TIERODS ARE TO BLAME, HAVE MENTIONED IT, BUT STILL DEAL WITH THIS RATTLE THAT GOES UNACCOUNTED. ALSO HAVE BAD ELECTRICAL THAT "CAN'T BE REPLICATED" AT THE DEALERSHIP. RADIO AND PANEL IN DASH FLASH AT RANDOM TIMES AS IF A WIRE WERE LOOSE OR SHORTING, LOUD BOOMING THUDS COME FROM THE SPEAKERS AT THE SAME TIME. SPEAKER BLEW IN DOOR, BUT AFTER WARRANTY. REGARDLESS OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THESE THINGS WHEN TAKEN IN TO GET LOOKED AT. FUEL GAGE STICKS, BUT EITHER HAVE TO PAY 120.00 TO POSSIBLY CORRECT IT WITH A FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER, OR PAY 700.00 TO REPLACE FUEL FILTER. SUCH GREAT OPTIONS. MY FAMILY HAS WORKED FOR GENERAL MOTORS FOR YEARS, IT'S A SHAME.

JUST THIS WEEK, WITHOUT ANY WARNING MY 2005 EQUINOX DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET AND WOULD NOT START....WHEN THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP GOT IT (NOT UNDER WARRANTY) THEY FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP BLEW A FUSE AND WHILE REPLACING THE FUSE IT CONTINUED TO BE A PROBLEM. SO I HAD TO FORK OVER A SMALL FORTUNE TO HAVE THE FUEL FILTER REPLACED. SHOULDN'T SOMETHING LIKE THE FUEL FILTER, OF WHICH IS INSIDE THE FUEL TANK, BE UNDER A LIFE TIME WARRANTY FROM THE ORIGINAL?
